Provided is a camera module. A camera module according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a first bracket including a first hole; a second bracket which includes a first groove and which is connected to the first bracket; a first lens module arranged in the first hole of the first bracket; and a second lens module arranged in the first groove of the second bracket, wherein the second lens module is formed to be smaller than the first groove, and the second bracket has a first protrusion being extended inwardly from the inner side surface of the first groove so as to fix the position of the second lens module.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The camera device of claim 1, wherein the first bracket and the second bracket are integrally formed.
3. The camera device of claim 1, wherein a height of the second bracket is lower than a height of the first bracket.
4. The camera device of claim 1, wherein a shape of the first coupling member is different from a shape of the second coupling member.
5. The camera device of claim 1, wherein a height of the first protrusion is smaller than a height of the first groove.
7. The camera device of claim 1, wherein the size of the second camera module is smaller than a size of the first camera module.
11. The camera device of claim 10, wherein each of the first camera module and the second camera module comprises at least one of a first actuator performing an auto focus function and a second actuator performing a hand shake correction function.
15. The camera device of claim 14, wherein the bracket comprises a first protrusion extending inwardly from an inner lateral surface of the first groove so as to fix the second camera module.
18. The camera device of claim 4, wherein the first coupling member is formed by curing a flowable liquid disposed between the first camera module and the first bracket.
19. The camera device of claim 5, wherein at least a portion of the second coupling member is disposed on an upper surface of the first protrusion of the second bracket.
20. The camera device of claim 13, wherein a shape of the first coupling member is different from a shape of the second coupling member.
